Nile - Permitting The Noble Dead To Descend To The Underworld Lyrics






Hail to ye who art in the sacred desert of the west
I know you and I know your names
Save me from these snakes which are in Rosetjau
Which live on the flesh of men and gulp down their blood
For I know you and I know your names

The first one Osiris lord of all mysterious of body
Gives command
He puts forth breath into those frightened ones
Who art in the midst of the west
What has been decreed for me is lordship over those who exist

I know you and I know your names

May my place in the darkness be opened for me
May a spirit shape be given to me in Rosetjau
Even to the lord of the gloom
Who dies at the devourer of serpents
His voice is heard but he is unseen

The great god within Busiris
Those amongst the languid ones fear him
Having gone forth unto the shambles of the god

I have gone forth
Even I the vindicated Osiris
The great ones on earth await me
The scribes on their mats magnify me
I am as Re the eldest of the gods
I have taken possession of the sky
I have inherited the earth
Who shall take away the sky and earth from me

I know you and I know your names
I know you and I know your names

    Currently listening to: Nile - Permitting The Noble Dead To Descend to the Underworld

  4. T.... F....

    So , I mostly listen to punk , hardcore punk , oi! , And the like. I dabble in metal here n there , Nile being a band I've dabbled in and am pretty much an admitted noob in their music. I've played Annihilation of the Wicked enough times to know it by heart ( cuz that lp is fuckin rad). First time hearing this song though !! And I love it! The part at or about 1:33 with that screechy sound is amazing. What a fuckin song... So now I'll check out this lp. I'm not dumb but Niles music is a bit hard to get into , it's incredibly intricate at times and more often than not I'm rewinding parts cuz I'll be like " what did he just say ? Or hear a riff that melts my mind and have to play it over... Brilliant stuff. A question though , what do you call that certain sound with the horns and percussion , they play it sometimes at the beginning or the end or even the chorus on some songs. It's like the music from some old mummy film or film about ancient Egypt, is there a term for that ? Do I make sense lol. Thx. NILE ! SEEING THEM IN OCT. can't wait.

    This is holy

  8. B.... C....

    Theres a reason everyone keeps mentioning 1:32. We are simply not worthy.. but we were gifted. We were blessed with 1:32. #1:32

  9. g.... f....

    That part at 1:00 is so fucking amazing it heals my soul

  10. C.... S....

    Just thinking if niel peart could do a cover of this song

  11. B.... K....

    1:32 it takes me to a distant world

  12. X.... L....

    Wow that song was fucking good :O

  13. e.... ....

    this song is when death metal becomes holy!

    e.... ....

    That could be said for Nile's entire back catalogue

  14. A.... W....

    True its perfect🤘

  15. �.... k....

    *Permitting The Noble Dead To Descend To The Underworld* is my all-time favorite song by Nile.
    Fucking awesome.

    Healthy music for people with anxiety problems

  18. K.... C....

    My little sister can scream and growl lower than that!

  19. S.... C....

    Melody with brutality

  20. F.... G....

    I am listening to this song 20th time today. at 1:02 my heart jumps out of my throat. This is truly great.

  21. M.... L....

    The general theme of this song: "I'm fuckin' Osiris, bitch!".

  22. I.... C....

    Nile and morbid angel songs are the toughest songs to play on drums. "live versions" IMO out majority of death metal. and they played all one foot blasts

    I.... C....

    Named like the godess... funny :)

  23. T.... R....

    all of my cells are throwing up devil signs

  24. n.... ....

    Masterpiece!

    R.... N....

    yeh gives me chills...

  32. s.... ....

    Those beats are way too fast it cured my ear infection by creating super sonic rapid waves piercing through my brain to channel some healing radiation from my magnetic 40mm drivers headset, making a hole eradicating the infection creating some ancient aliens medicine shit. Now im crying out blue crystals, pissing out pearls and shitting out bears

    s.... ....

    slipknot2k4 That last part sounds like a Nile song title

  33. K.... O....

    I KNOW YOU AND I KNOW YOUR NAMES

  45. K.... 2....

    I'd say Zahi Hawas is a bigger *sshole then Achnaton .... haha Tnx for the post/shares!

  46. S.... J....

    haha exactly. Music elitism at it's finest man. Linking Park were one of my faveourite bands back in the day. Still listen to them from time to time. Yeah it was fair enough for him to throw his 2 cents in. But I felt that he was down right insulted from what you said. Just the way the comments were, when I didn't say anything bad at all. You didn't trash any bands, yet he did. Ha.....

  47. y.... ....

    thanx i appreciate your comments. im a fan of both but i've listened to nile YEARS before i ever heard of necrophagist. all i did was name both bands greatest attributes and how they outweigh the other from my perspective to give props to BOTH bands rather than trash either of them, the guy necros666 felt the need to throw his 2 cents, fine its his opinion and i respect that, im not interested in arguing with him but then replies trying to devalue my opinion w/ "u listen to LK" for no dam reason

  48. y.... ....

    and what was the cheap shot for? for saying thats your opinion? *continues smh*

  49. y.... ....

    yeah, because LP were one of my fav acts from 9 years ago and dont mind them every now and then, and because they happen to be one of the many musical acts in any of my playlists (that you happen to take at look at), you take cheap shots at me...

    how very logical and mature of you....smh

  50. S.... J....

    Anyway, yeah I pretty much had to rephrase what the other guy said. You didn't seem to understand his opinion, when it didn't say anything bad about the two bands mentioned. "both bands are great overrall".

  51. S.... J....

    I mean, you pretty much dig yourself into a deeper hole every comment you make. Seems like you can't have a nice discussion with someone without getting insulted (without the guy insulting you) and the splur our stereotypical nonsense. Such as assuming I'm American for one, and that Americans don't know how to read. Insulting the other guys music taste by saying his opinion isn't worth anything because he listens to a band that you don't like. Such an elitist attitude dude.

  52. S.... J....

    I'm European too. What's wrong with being American anyway..... It seems like I did have to rewrite what he said, since you essentially got pretty insulted. "Necrophagist is just bullshit technical death". I mean the guy wasn't saying Nile were bad by comparing them to Necrophagist, he was just stating their different qualities. Then you go on to say "You listen to linkin park. Your word doesn't mean shit.".....

  53. S.... H....

    Why would you retype what he's just said? I know that you are American and stuff but we, people in Europe, understand what we read. You don't have to rewrite this shit for me bro. If you have troubles with understanding I'll paraphrase this. Peace out.

  54. S.... J....

    I mean they pretty much created a new sub genre.

  55. S.... J....

    Agree with you man. I rather Nile though, because I'm more of a fan of the heavy and dark music they create. And the fact that they came up with original music. They made the Death Metal scene much more interesting, by combining Egyptian scales with Music.

  56. S.... J....

    It's funny that you got insulted by what he said. It was his opinions, and I definitely would agree with Yugang08. Necrophagist are definitely more Melodic than Nile, while Nile is definitely heavier, darker and much more brutal. I rather Nile over Necrophagist because of those characteristics and my taste meet. But what he said wasn't necessarily bad against Nile. He did say Both bands are great.

  57. S.... H....

    You listen to linkin park. Your word doesn't mean shit.

  58. y.... ....

    thats your opinion

  59. S.... H....

    Wat? Are you serious?
    Necrophagist is just bullshit technical death without any freakin' atmosphere. Every song is just about broken riffs etc. Epic boredom. Nile eats them for breakfest as an apetizer - before they even pour milk to their cereal.

  60. d.... ....

    I KNOW YOU AND I KNOW YOUR NAMES

  61. D.... H....

    1:34 fucks my mind every time

  62. y.... ....

    necrophagist is more melodic and has better composed guitar solos, thats it.
    nile is much more heavier and more brutal.

    both bands are great overrall

  63. C.... V....

    MISTERIOSO PONYYYY!!!! jaksjkajsk

  64. M.... W....

    What's wrong for being into screams for sadism? This statement is a lie.

  65. M.... ....

    Your name is OpenCasket19, yoUR opinion is invalid, and hey, go learn how to write correctly, ok?

  66. M.... ....

    necrophagist >>>>>>>>>>> nile
